Abstract

L'invention concerne une méthode et un appareil améliorés sous la forme d'un système permettant de distribuer une composition, de préférence une composition médicale ou pharmaceutique ou une substance active, par l'intermédiaire de la couche cornée de la peau, sans saignement ou endommagement du tissu et sans douleur ou autre traumatisme. La taille et la forme des micro-éléments sont ajustées en fonction de la profondeur de pénétration souhaitée dans la peau. Les micro-éléments peuvent être creux, d'où la formation de passages traversants permettant l'écoulement de la composition dans la peau à partir d'une chambre et par l'intermédiaire des micro-éléments. Ces micro-éléments peuvent éventuellement être solides, la composition étant alors appliquée directement sur la peau juste avant ou juste après l'application des micro-éléments sur la surface de la peau, d'où la formation d'ouvertures dans la couche cornée. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on utilise des microstructures cylindriques appliquées par rotation sur la peau, ces microstructures pénétrant dans la couche cornée et permettant la distribution d'un fluide au moyen de plusieurs structures différentes.
